Of the many XML dialects for processing (o:XML, dSVG, XSLT, Ant,
WS-BPEL, etc), only JavaML decomposes an expression into XML elements.
This makes JavaML almost unreadable, and indeed JavaML is a dead
language.  But I wonder, have these other XML dialects lost some
significant opportunity for further metaprogramming because they don't
have structured expressions?
